  You are probably againt the front face of that bunker oneeyedon and it is a tough one to get out of. One way out of it is to drag the blue aim triangle back down the fairway from where you came from and use a sand wedge or lob wedge to get back on the fairway.

  You will be further back from the pin but with practice you should make your par or get close with your next shot.

  Try a Flop Shot. You are not going to break any records doing so, but it should get you out of the Sandbox.
